Yeah, this was originally said ages ago, but to be fair she is right. She might have polarised opinion and made life hell etc, but Thatcher was one of the first women to really break into a male dominated world.

It's not fair if it's not true though is it?

"Thatcher was one of the first women to really break int a male dominated world".

Are you serious? This is 1979 we're talking about here.
In the scale of significant women in history this is a mere second on a twenty four hour clock.

Yeah it annoys me that Thatcher is always credited as the first woman in politics. There were many before her and I doubt that had it not been for Barbara Castle, of the Labour party no less, getting the equal pay for women notion though the Tories wouldn't have ever elected Maggie as leader. Yet Castle is forever overlooked. Disgraceful.

Not just politics either.
Plenty of women in history have made big inroads in fields which were traditionally male dominated.

Now, I know how fame hungry Geri can come across, but I really do tnk she was just reiterating her comment from years ago. When she originally said this years ago it was quite a statement, it made it into the papers with bug headlines. Sheprobably thought alot of people would male the connection.

Don't worry Bluray, I know exactly why you posted this thread, she can come across a bit desperate and transparent at times so it's easy to see why you would have thought her comment was out there.
